Junit Testing in Eclipse throws an Exception

Question

I am using Eclipse 3.5 on Unix machine. I am trying to execute a simple (dummy) JUnit. I am using JUnit 4 framework for writting Junit Test Case.

Also, I have added Junit 4.10.jar to the project Build path

Here is my Java Class File: FileStats.java

    package entity;
    public class FileStats {
            public int getAllStats(){
                return 1;
            }
    }

FileStatsTest.java

    package entity;
    import static org.junit.Assert.*;
    import org.junit.Test;
    public class FileStatsTest  {
        @Test
        public void testGetAllStats() {
            assertEquals("its equal",1,new FileStats().getAllStats());
        }
    }

On executing the test case I get the following error:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: Truncated class file

    Could not find the main class: org.ecli        pse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.  Program will exit.

I have searched and tried restarting , cleaning build path etc. But could not get it working. Any suggestions what might be missing would be really helpful.

Thanks.

Answer 1

It looks like you have a corrupted installation. Try using a fresh installation of Eclipse, or reinstalling the junit plugin (not the junit jar).
